When the HotSpot JVM's just-in-time compiler optimizes this code it inlines all of these tests, realizes that they are constant values, and generates no code for them. All the generated code does is check that the strings have the same coder and are the same length, then it goes into an unrolled loop checking that the characters are the same. If they're different then we have to do some more testing. If you want to optimize any library code its a great idea to make some changes and use JMH (http://openjdk.java.net/projects/code-tools/jmh/) to see if your change makes your test run faster.
